    The war in South Sudan began in murky circumstances in mid-December, when tribal factions within the country's army, the SPLA, began fighting each other in the center of the capital, Juba. The SPLA quickly fractured into two camps: an insurgency drawn from members of former vice president Riek Machar's Nuer tribe and troops who remained loyal to President Salva Kiir, of the Dinka tribe. Both sides have been accused of committing gross human rights abuses during the conflict. VICE News arrived in Juba and found the army desperate to dispel rumors that rebels were advancing on the capital. Soldiers were keen to take our correspondents on a trip with them into the bush to recapture the strategic city of Bor from the rebels... only the raid didn't turn out quite as they had expected.

    That senior government official who was killed there was my uncle. Imagine he was in Kenya for treatment when war broke out in December. 3 days later, he got a call from government to come and resume his duty and that’s how we lost him in that reckless fight. He was a breadwinner not only to his family but to the whole community at large. Since that day, we are all experiencing his absence everyday. Me and some other cousins drop out from school since we were not able to afford our school fee. It’s so sad to see our people being blindfolded to fights each other just because of INDIVIDUALs’ INTEREST.💔

    I worked and lived with 2 men from Sudan. One was from the north, and one was from the south. One was a devout Muslim, the other a catholic with tribal beliefs and decorative scars on his face. These two men never fought. They said the fighting was always instigated by others and that most Sudanese hated the fighting. I asked if they missed their homeland and if they ever wanted to go back, even just to visit. They said they had no desire to return at that point. They would return when kids stopped carrying AK47s and the fighting had stopped. Sadly, they fear that this won't happen in their life time.

    With the least bit of communication, a few walkie talkies, this probably would have ended differently. These guys have no communication with each other, how the hell are 70% of these guys supposed to know where the enemy is, when the infantry that is engaging them can't even call for reinforcements? No wonder they just ran off without even knowing what was going on.
